Here is the interview of FREDDIE ROACH by Steve Kim
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbKml_g3zKg
I will talk about Freddie's ailment,PARKINSON'S DISEASE.I met Freddie personally in CEBU ,two years ago and he still has good posture back then.In this interview Freddie shows his ailment has progressed significantly.It can be gleaned by the video.
The pressures of training PACQUIAO,,the stresses brought about by issues being addressed to him specifically by Mayweather sr. among others,just simply took its toll on Freddie's health condition.
I admire Freddie's heart in fighting and swaying these stresses brought about by his job.I couldnt imagine where freddie's strength is coming from.He can even still travel far,like as far as the Philippines.He was two time TRAINER OF THE YEAR and a HALL OF FAMER at that.He is a warrior.
I was told he had PD for almost 10 years now.Or even more i guess....Irregardlesss,basing on his appearance in this video,i estimate Freddie to have 3 more years of active presence in boxing.No medicine can help him retrogressed his ailment unless a major breakthru will happen.
Nevertheless,Freddie did great despite the PARKINSONS D.He is an inspiration to those sick people who are sulking now.The warrior spirit in FREDDIE is one to be emulated...I admire FREDDIE,I SALUTE THIS ONE TOUGH HOMBRE!
Btw,my father had PARKINSONS D,he lived and stayed under my care thru his ailment.He passed away 5 years ago.
